Such services are the focus of the Cisco Move™ (monetization, optimization, videoscape experience) strategic framework, which delivers solutions to enable service providers like 3 Scandinavia to better manage, enhance and take financial advantage of the rapidly growing volume of mobile data traffic.
Highlights/Key Facts
- 3 Scandinavia’s fastest-growing business segments are new services, such as mobile Internet, mobile video chat and mobile video downloads for consumer and business customers.
- 3 Scandinavia’s new IP NGN ensures that 3 Scandinavia customers will continue to experience some of the fastest mobile Internet speeds in Scandinavia.
- The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is specifically designed to enable 3 Scandinavia to offer new mobile services by providing a flexible and scalable foundation for mobile backhaul.
- The Cisco ASR 9000 Series has been designed to allow service providers to make the transition easily to IPv6 while providing services such as end-to-end security, quality of service (QoS) and globally unique addresses.
